(1) Each holder of Class B common stock of the Issuer is entitled, without regard to the number of shares of Class B common stock held by such holder, to one vote for each Class A Unit ("Unit") of Private National Mortgage Acceptance Company, LLC (the "LLC"), held by such holder. The Issuer is the sole managing member of the LLC. The Class B common stock entitles the holder to no economic rights in the Issuer, including without limitation any right to receive dividends or to receive a distribution upon a liquidation or winding up of the Issuer.
(2) Represents Units of the LLC. Subject to the terms of an exchange agreement by and among the Issuer, the LLC and the unitholders party to such exchange agreement (the "Unitholders"), each Unit is exchangeable, at the election of the holder, into one share of the Issuer's Class A common stock, subject to customary conversion rate adjustments in the event of any stock split, unit split, unit distribution, stock dividend or distribution, reclassification, reorganization, recapitalization or similar transaction. The Issuer may require each Unitholder to exchange all such Units for shares of the Issuer's Class A common stock (1) in connection with a change in control of the Issuer, (Continued in footnote 3)
(3) (2) from or after the time when no Unitholder (other than the Issuer) holds a number of outstanding Units greater than three percent (3%) of the number of Units outstanding immediately following the closing of the Issuer's initial public offering, and (3) subject to continuing employment obligations with the Issuer, as applicable.
(4) The Mazzella Family Irrevocable Trust owns 407,031 Units (the "Trust Units"). The Reporting Person disclaims Section 16 beneficial ownership of the Trust Units except to the extent, if any, of his pecuniary interest therein.
